Loud popping and jerking when turning left
Checked for play in the u joints ball joint tie rods jacked it up to see if wheel had play and nothing. Greased the hell out of it to see if thatd do anything but no. Does it while driving then braking to slow down and when I'm turning from a stop. Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I think its a track bar problem.
Have somebody watch the track bar while you turn the wheels left and right if the track bars moves than you need to tighten it up, or replace the hardware.

Yeah it does move a little. So try and tighten it to see if that helps? But I thought the pin was supposed to keep it from loosening?

Definately try and tighten it. I couldn't tighten mine anymore than it already was so I'm trying to find a bushing or a whole new track bar kit right now.

if it is happening only when you turn it something cause by your steering just have someone turn the wheel while you look under the car for something to move just do that till you find whats moving. I had the same problem a couple of time and that work for me to find the problem.
if its a broken tie rod or anything like that you will see it move a little and make sure that if it is something with the trac bar that it wasnt cause by the trac bar being the wrong length because if you just replace the joint or bushing and the bar isnt the right length for the lift you will just break the tie rod or bushing again

do the same thing and look for a worn joint somewhere but my money is on it being a control arm bushing take a look at all of those bushings and if one looks bad replace it. Just in case it is on of the control arm bushings it may be simpler to just replace the control arm over the bushing those can be a real pain sometimes
